Cathedral Caves & Slater's Bridge Walk

About

A 3-mile circular from the Three Shires Inn: down to the pretty stone-arched Slater's Bridge, along Little Langdale Tarn, then up to the astonishing Cathedral Cave — a vast man-made cavern you can walk into. Bring a head torch. Some rocky, uneven ground; sturdy footwear essential.

Roger Recommends

"The cave floods after heavy rain — check the forecast, and bring a torch even in daylight."
